**Note:** For the latter launch file, you can use `--wait_for_tf:=false` (default: `true`) argument. It controls whether
135+
to wait for the transform from velodyne to fixed frame (e.g. odometry frame) with a timestamp larger than the one of the
136+
firing or whether to use the latest available (probably incorrect) transform. The former is the accurate approach
137+
(that's why it is the default) but the columns are published in larger batches/slices because they are accumulated
138+
between two transforms. The size of a slice depends on the update rate of the transform (i.e. transforms with 50Hz lead
139+
to batches/slices of 1/5 rotation for a LiDAR rotating with 10Hz). So for a nice visualization where the columns are
140+
published one by one like it the GIF at the top of the page you should disable this flag.
